[QUOTE="Roman Collector, post: 3819956, member: 75937"]The TR P II COS III issues at the end of Nerva's reign tend to be scarcer than those earlier. This reverse type, for example, occurs three times throughout his reign -- as TR P COS II (Oct-Dec AD 96; RIC 6), as TRP COS III (Jan-Sep AD 97; RIC 18) and as TR P II COS III (Oct-Dec AD 97; RIC 30). Of these, the last is the most scarce. The British Museum does not have a specimen in their collection and only a handful of examples have been sold at auction over the past few decades. Here's my example: [ATTACH=full]1017197[/ATTACH] Nerva, AD 96-98. Roman AR denarius, 3.37 g, 16.5 mm, 7 h. Rome, Oct-Dec AD 97. Obv: IMP NERVA CAES AVG P M TR P II COS III P P, laureate head right. Rev: IVSTITIA AVGVST: Justitia, draped, seated right on low backed chair, feet on stool, holding long straight scepter in right and branch extended in left. Refs: RIC 30; Cohen 103.[/QUOTE]
